Abstract

In Central Java, one of supporting factors of regional economic growth viewed from regional facilities and infrastructures is toll road facilities. Transjawa toll road is a network that connects several cities in Java. Particularly, this toll road connects two biggest cities in Indonesia, namely Jakarta and Surabaya in which Salatiga is also one of cities traversed by this toll. This ±1.000 km toll road continues the previous toll roads that have existed, including Merak – Cikampek, Jakarta – Bandung, Semarang – Bawen, and Surabaya – Pandaan. Despite the positive impacts, Transjawa toll road also gives negative impacts for local communities. Thus, this study aimed (1) to find out the socioeconomic condition of farmers after Transjawa toll road construction in Salatiga and (2) to find out the socioeconomic condition of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) after Transjawa toll road construction in Salatiga. This study used qualitative and quantitative data taken from from 30 main respondents. The construction of transjawa toll road in Salatiga region brings good effects. It was proved by the better condition of socioeconomic and income of farmers and MSME doers in Salatiga region after the construction of this toll road.
